I think that this is good information for realtime developers.
Can I get 2.6.29.5-rt22-tirqonly patch and the exact test scenario
about this result among 2.6.29.5 and 2.6.29.5-rt22 and
2.6.29.5-rt22-tirqonly by Darren Hart and and John Stultz?

Yea, sorry, the chart wasn't originally intended to be distributed as far as it has, so I wasn't as rigorous with the data as I should have been.
2.6.29.5-rt22-tirqonly is the same as 2.6.29.5-rt22 with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT disabled (CONFIG_PREEMPT is used instead).
I booted with maxcpus=$NP for each cpu point, and with dbench-3.04, ran:
./dbench $NP -t 7000 -D . -c client.txt

That isn't a patch, it's just a .config setting. Grab the 2.6.29-rt22 patches (see Download on rt.wiki.kernel.org) and set CONFIG_PREEMPT (not CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) and enable hard and soft threaded irq's to yes. As for the exact test scenario, I don't have the details, but running dbench is fairly straightforward and will easily reproduce these results. Ingo did so with a simple 10 second run during discussions at the rt-summit.
